Places to visit

Gammelbo EstateTake the time to discover
There is still much to recount about this part of Bergslagen town. Lindesberg's museum has taken the matter in hand by making an exhibit that tells the history of the town and includes working models of a mine and a blast furnace. The museum occasionally provides temporary displays, lectures, information for wandering in the area, and guided tours. Erik Elzvik, the so-called Silver Baron once lived in the building in which the museum is now located. Although dead and buried for many years, he is still said to haunt the building.
A complete paper milldating from the turn of the century, has been preserved and is housed in the modern paper mill of Korsnäs which is located in Frövi some 20 km south-east of Lindesberg. The museum is rather special in its self. Sweden's oldest paper making machine dating from 1872, is to be seen in an old building providing a truly historical mill environment. This exhibition goes back for nearly 500 years, starting from the time when Gustav Vasa built a forge on the site up until to-days modern cellulose and carton mill. There is a fascinating exhibition showing the development of packaging from the Stone Age until the Space Age. There is an Industrial Railway Museum just outside Frövi giving the opportunity to travel on narrow gauge locomotives and wagons.

A Tibetan peace monument

A Tibetan peace monument, a Stupa, is to be found near Fellingsbro in the tranquillity of the Västmanland countryside.
Thousands of monuments of this kind have been erected by the peace loving Tibetans but this is the only monument of its kind in Sweden. Built during 1986 and 1987 in the same spirit that the others have been erected, the monument was consecrated by the Dalai Lama.
